Yeah… according to the stats in this post, about 1.9 million to be more precise. 11 billion a year between 1.9 million prisioners is about 6k per year per prisoner. So that’s about $500 a month. Which is not a crazy number… and according to the article, the prisoners still get paid a fraction of it… it’s just that 80% is used “for room and board, court costs, restitution and other fees, including the construction and maintenance of prisons”.
